Beautiful Location for a Weekend Break!
Our family had a fabulous weekend away staying here…it was a quiet, tranquil and spacious house with a fantastic secure garden for our dogs to play without worry of them escaping! The only negative would be that there were areas that could have done with a really good clean but on the whole we would return!

Family time at Christmas
A beautiful old home for catching up with family. Plenty of room, privacy and so close to the centre of town. The towering trees, gardenia bushes encircling the house and the picturesque old home made it a great stay. The choice of 2 very adequate bathrooms and decent sized kitchen was very much appreciated as well as the comfortable bedrooms.Well worth the stay.Thank you .

Loved it!
We had a wonderful stay! Such a lovely house and location, perfect for our two families. The property could use a deep clean as windows and skirtings etc were very dusty and dirty. The exhaust fan also needs to be repaired as it was broken. We'd come back for sure.

Lovely historic home
The house was cute and cosy. We loved the fireplace and abundance of firewood and check in was easy. It was a nice quiet location and family and our dog loved it.We did find some light bulbs and appliances that weren’t working properly but overall was a great little getaway. Would definitely recommend.

Travelled with family and small children, Travelled with pets
The perfect space for a family getaway from the city. We very much enjoyed the fireplace, it heated up the whole house! The house is in a great location, very close to the local cafes/restaurants. We loved hearing the Kookaburras in the morning and watching the Rosellas in the trees.

Perfect for a winters long weekend
We enjoyed this property immensely. The modern kitchen and bathrooms were appreciated as was the plethora of wood for the wood heater in the main room which kept us toasty and helped us relax. Having split systems in all the rooms was a luxury as well. Proximity to town and the Yarra meant we didn't have to drive and kept our dogs (and humans) very happy. Beds were all super comfy and everything was clean and fresh.

Quaint cottage
House was very cold. Need woolen blankets on the bed. Cotton waffle blanket is not warm enough. Window in the main bathroom needs to be fully frosted glass, instead of just half. The top half of the bathroom window is not frosted. One can be seen from the road that runs along the house. Had to squat in the shower, not to be seen. Everything else OK.

Location really good. House needs work
General areas like kitchen & bathrooms were clean but the rest needs a deep clean. Very dusty everywhere, even inside of wardrobes. Windows had dirt and mould on the inside.
There was gas leaking out of knobs on stove, this should have been picked up on by getting a professional in to inspect before renting out. We were able to turn the gas bottles off and use electric pans provided for cooking instead so still able to cook during our stay.
The house needs some work.
Location was really good and view to river was lovely. Easy walk to IGA and to the playground.

Peaceful Yarra River Retreat
We loved our stay at the Warburton Cottage.
We loved the peace and tranquility.
We loved sitting on the raised decking, and taking in the beautiful surroundings. The sounds of nature, bird life and sunshine.
The property backs onto the Yarra river.
It is a short distance from town, La La Falls and other great walks.
We loved the furnishings and the clocks that did it change.
Great cooking facilities, old architecture & a beautiful garden.
We would love to return.

A lovely getaway by the river
My family (six adults) had a wonderful time staying here over Christmas. The house was well set up for groups, and the covered outdoor area was hugely appreciated as it allowed us to enjoy eating on the balcony even when it was raining. This kitchen was very big which was useful when multiple people were cooking.
The location is great - opposite the Yarra, just a short walk along the river or the main road in to town to the cafes. Having a securely fenced yard meant we had piece of mind that our curious dog wouldn't wander on to the road.
I would recommend this property to others and would gladly stay here again.
